Also, blogs I’ve been enjoying:
The Contrary Farmer: “Gene and Carol Logsdon have a small-scale experimental farm in Wyandot County, Ohio. Gene is the author of numerous books and magazine articles on farm-related issues, and believes sustainable pastoral farming is the solution for a stressed agricultural system.”
The Scientist Gardener: “I’m excited by the renewed public interest in something I’ve cared about for a long time - agriculture! …I’m less excited by the fluffy way that it’s often misunderstood by journalists and food activists. I started this blog to help tell the day-in-the-life stories of this industry, its past and its possible futures.”
